Chelan High School Student - 11/16/07 
This class is a very challenging course. However, it does represent something that has to be taken seriously. The subject I am learning online right now is very challenging for me. Being that I am from a small town and that influences the curriculum of the school tremedously. This course is a very fun class. The instructor is a very timely and caring person. This makes the class a very easy class to get focused and have a passion to learn about your subject. The only thing that I don't like about this class is that there is no hands on learning. Everything is computer generated and you can't actually show/give emotions to your fellow class mates.
Other then that factor it's an excellent choice for everyone who wants a challenge on a course or if they don't have any other options.
